It is finished.....

Postby Creamcracker » Mon Jun 29, 2009 1:33 pm

......other than a few minor details I actually finished NAPSACK today...at least for the moment until I think of something else to add. I towed it "uptown" .....the first time I've towed anything and I was quite nervous, I'll admit......it seems to run pretty true with nothing untoward going on. I really wanted to finish it this week to take it to the July 4th Car Show...WhoHoo, I'm so pleased with myself....but seriously, thanks everone for your comments, encouragement and direction.....I couldn't have done it without this forum..

Congratulations! It looks great!!! :applause: :applause: :applause:

I know what you mean. I was very nervous when I finally towed my tear out of the garage the first time. I got over it after the first mile or so.

Wow...I think that's one of the prettiest ones I've seen.

Do you mind me asking where you got your doors?

I made the doors.......I bought the pair of HEHR windows on ebay for $70 then set them into a plywood frame...I was afraid they would look too heavy but they turned out fine.
